Big empty eyes
reflect the day
the girl cries in silence
her eyes are screaming
that what her mouth never leaves
Big empty eyes
staring straight through your head
looking at something else
besides the pain of the moment
they see the world
only she seems to know
the girl is crying
big teardrops sliding down
no-one looking up or around
because the one crying
is not me or you
Her big empty eyes
see things in you and me
we seem to hide for ourselves
Her big empty eyes
see more and less in you and me
than we can even begin to imagine
She cries for the world
and a little for you and me
for herself she sheds no tears
lost she already is
Her big empty eyes, gazing in emptiness
focust on eternity
focust on the pain
pupil's widened
and the boundary they look into?
do not wish to know it
do not wish to feel the pain they're seeing
see the tears they are shedding
I'd rather stay unknowing
